Due to a safety emergency, we only had time to do a simulation of the activity, but we will try again tomorrow to do the outdoor activity
We will study the right triangle today. We will discuss the Pythagorean Theorem and using it to do indirect measurement. We will also discuss similar right triangles and lead into the basic trigonometric functions.

Lesson Comments
We looked at Pythagorean Theorem examples and using right triangles to do indirect measurement.
Today we will study similar figures starting with triangles, polygons, and circles. We will discuss applications of similar figures in real situations.
We will define the concept of congruent figures. This will then be applied to triangles. We will determine the requirements for triangles to be congruent and also minimum requirements for congruence.

Lesson Comments
The session went well. Cam can identify if two triangles that are congruent or are not congruent.
We will explore and apply five new theorems involving segments in circles. These theorems will be used to review proofs and to enable us to solve numerical problems. Examples from a work sheet will be completed in the session.

Lesson Comments
We completed the statements of the theorems and did a proof of one of the theorems, but w4e did not have time for numerical examples.
We will discuss right triangles and the Pythagorean Theorem. The area of a triangle as the product of the base and altitude multiplied by one-half will also be discussed. We will also discuss triangulating polygons to find areas.

The discussion went well. Cam understands the concepts discussed.
We will identify types of triangles based on the side lengths and also based on the angle measures. These include scalene, isosceles, equilateral, equiangular, acute, obtuse, and right triangles.
Assignment
Know triangle types by these names.

Lesson Comments
We did examples of these types of triangles, and we will continue our study of triangles and their properties.
We will identify types of polygons as concave or convex, by the number of sides, and if they are regular polygons. We will also discuss applications of these terms and uses of polygons in art and architecture.

Lesson Comments
We had a lot of good discussion. Cam has a good understanding of polygons.
We will find the sum of the measures of the interior angles of polygons. We will find the measures of each angle of regular polygons. We will find the sum of the measures of exterior angles of a polygon. Formulas will be developed for each of the above.
